JAMMU: Launching a scathing attack on Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over his remarks in the USA, BJP MP Anurag Thakur said on Tuesday that the Britishers have gone but left their mindset to the Congress people and it is their strategy to go abroad and malign the country’s image. He also emphasized that the remarks of the LoP would do nothing as the people of the country have rejected the Congress. Thakur said, “Britishers have gone but left their mindset to the Congress people. They want to divide the nation based on caste, religion, or region. It’s their strategy to go abroad and malign the country’s image. Whenever Rahul Gandhi has gone abroad, he has always maligned the image of the country. Rahul Gandhi ji, this would do nothing. Taking funds from China and opinions from Pakistan would do nothing. The people of this nation will cast their vote and they have rejected Congress.” This comes amid a row created by Rahul Gandhi’s remarks in the United States, where he said that today the fight in India is whether a Sikh person will be able to wear his turban, kada, and visit Gurdwara. “First of all, you have to understand what the fight is about. The fight is not about politics. It is superficial. What is your name? The fight is about whether he, as a Sikh, is going to be allowed to wear his turban in India. Or he as a Sikh is going to be allowed to wear a kada in India. Or a Sikh is going to be able to go to Gurdwara. That’s what the fight is about and not just for him, for all religions,” Rahul gandhi had said. Further, he continued his tirade against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, claiming that the “fear of Prime Minister Narendra Modi” among people had vanished after Lok Sabha elections 2024 results were declared. Rahul Gandhi, who is on a visit to the US, arrived in Dallas on Sunday. He interacted with students and teachers at the University of Texas and also addressed the members of the Indian diaspora in Dallas and Virginia.
